Description
Originally I wanted to do a comic where Winslow was speaking in Old English, but that was only because I wanted to incorporate a bunch of old letters English speakers don’t use anymore. But then I thought, the International Phonetic Alphabet has all of those letters and a whole bunch of other crazy-ass letters. So then I created this thing, which will probably cause heads to explode with its obscurity. I don’t like giving away jokes, so I won’t attempt to explain or even translate this one, but if you’re having trouble figuring out what Winslow’s saying, you could always take a look at the International Phonetic Alphabet or and translate.

Couple inaccuracies (doesn't account for syllabic consonants like in "Kurt," which would make it "kʰɻ̩t," other minor stuff like incorrect symbols at places and size issues that don't matter), but pretty neat.

Well, I can't account for size, since I write all these out by hand. But all of these symbols and pronunciations were confirmed as accurate using an American English dictionary.
